That's Nintendo 's excuse to avoid admitting their defeat. That's what you call a marketing tactic Sega tried the same thing back in the day instead of admitting they were simply broke.
Taking consideration of going all the way back to the NES days...yes, I will agree but just comparing the Wii & Wii U vs PS3 and Xbox...show me the proof ...back up your claim ...We are only talking about games
I know, right!? If I had a Wi now, I would only have about 5 to 6 games, all by Nintendo (waiting for that price to drop to $80 )

One misstep doesn't mean they need to completely change course. The drop in sales for the 3DS was expected since that whole markets been hit hard due to mobile gaming on phones and the Wii U didn't get anywhere near the same attention the Wii did on launch. This isn't like Sega or Atari where they kept getting hit hard.

It seems Nintendo still thinks it's the early 90s and there isn't really any real competition. They need to work on making a console that can compete hardware wise with the PS4 and next XBOX. It's too late now anyway, in most peoples eyes (and I mean most people under 20) Nintendo just makes Super Mario and games for children.

The Wii U uses specialist hardware (PowerPC CPU, custom made GPU, and uses proprietary optical discs.) The PS4 has slightly modified PC hardware from AMD and the next XBOX is rumoured to use something similar. Game developers don't like consoles that use proprietary hardware. A lot of game devs complained about the PS3 and 360 (especially the PS3 which used a PowerPC CPU and custom made GPU) when making games.

But dev's love PC gaming - afterall, every body has exactly identical hardware in their pc
